My sister and I returned yesterday afternoon from Seattle. We had a great time, always good to see and laugh with family. I saw nephews and nieces I haven’t seen in years. I missed them. As always we ate and we ate and we… However, we did get in some good long walks along the Burke-Gilman Trail that goes for almost 19 miles around Lake Washington. And, no, I only walked about 5 miles of it each day. We had a great time and will share more with you in a later post.
It was toasty when we arrived, reaching 98 degrees around 4:30 yesterday afternoon. I unpacked, ate a sandwich, bought groceries and had some quiet time. About 6:30 I drove out to Reservoir Ridge Natural Area to sit in the shade of the pine trees. There is a group of about 20 trees where I will sit in a folding camp chair near the parking lot. I will then write, read and get my much needed dose of nature. Think my meadowlarks missed me as much as I missed them. It was good to hear them sing.

Welcome back, Monte. I hope your meadowlarks took advantage of the time you were gone to rehearse some special numbers for you. Glad you had a good and safe trip.

In a bit of a lag and not been on the computer much but I’ll catch up.

Wonderful to hear that your trip provided a welcome, refreshing experience. Sounds like your coming home was equally uplifting.

Yes, good to be home but it is hot. The same thing for the next few days.
